  • The art of racing in the rain

    I never sit down and read books. I havent read one for pleasure since I got my driver's lisence. I read this one in a matter of a few days.

    A great read for anyone with an interest in cars or dogs. Warning, you will cry at some point in this book. Everyone I know that has read it has. You dont have to tell anyone that you did.

    Told from a dog's point of view, a story of a gearhead and racecar driver and his familiy.

        Yeah, I read it a couple years ago.. It is tough to get through at times, but an excellent book.

        BTW, as a result of reading that book I talk to our dogs all the time. Just in case they too cannot form their tongue and lips to appropriately speak english.

            Apparently as we speak they are filming a movie based on the book staring Patrick Dempsey. Listed as IN DEVELOPMENT and set to screen in 2014.

                Ok I'll check it out as well. Some of my friends make fun of me because I read a lot and always have a wealth of knowledge on things

                          Just read a bit on Amazon. Got a bit misty-eyed at the first chapter.

                            Push through the first chapter, it cheers up for most of the rest of The book
